Brilliantly cruel. Won't be for everyone, but you will find at least something familiar in the unhappiness of the game's characters and society, their various self-destructive fears and anxieties. I'm not an Italian, nor a gay man, nor was I really affected by the COVID pandemic, but still found a lot to relate to, in all its messy, tragic, queer glory.

Stylish, Queer, Existential, Opinionated. I adore this game. My eyes were initially drawn to the queerness of the game as that is something we as a community are in shortage of in our medium. But on further inspection and playing the demo, I knew this game had more to say than what was shown. And now after fully completing the game and getting the actual ending, I'm glad I took a chance on this indie gem. No spoilers below, but I will be talking about general themes in the story. Mediterranea Inferno is an indie visual novel which you can fully complete in around 4-5 hours. It is beautifully crafted with some of the best sensual artwork I've seen in any game. It is proudly queer, sexy and freeing, and I love it; It's so refreshing to see queer characters who's queerness isn't their defining characteristic. Everything is well written with a core narrator behind its ideologies, who has some strong opinions on religion current culture and their nation. The religious iconography is everywhere and was something I sadly couldn't fully grasp as I'm unfamiliar with Christianity, but it did provide some striking visuals. The cultural pessimism is something I truly relate with as I'm also someone from the same generation showcased in the game; Sometimes we do feel as though we got the shorter end of the stick and that's something I don't see mentioned often anywhere. Then there's frustrations about Italy which as a non-Italian I could only empathize with, but I do respect the Dev for voicing their frustrations and that too in such a stylish manner. Oh style; I was not expecting this much finesse in the visual presentation. Everything is smooth, striking, bold and I love the colours and risks taken in every sequence. Also on a final note the soundtrack absolutely slaps and the entire audio landscape of the game is crisp and enhances the experience greatly. I loved it. I will be playing it again. And I hope this review gave you the final nudge to try it. I wasn't planning a review, but after seeing how criminally underrated this game was, I owed it to the game and the Dev to share my appreciation for all the thoughts and resonance it gave me. You won't be disappointed. Play it.

For me this is clearly one of those games that proves, there really should be an option to give a neutral rating. If this game were a basketball team, it would have barely scraped a win at 86:83, but as a spectator it felt like one of those matches you regret having spent money on to see it. In Mediterranea Inferno (a title-name I didn’t like from the very start) the story revolves around three friends who haven’t seen each other in years and want to reconnect after the pandemic by taking a summer trip together. The presentation is unusual, more like an artful stage play or an interactive novel where atmosphere and emotions take precedence over mechanics. The game’s creative and artistic look is almost the only reason I’m still giving it a thumbs up, but just barely, and only with the caveat: only during a sale. At full price, it’s definitely not worth it. The opening moments gave me real hope that I’d found another hidden gem, something fresh and special. But then came the downhill slide, so it went far down, and not in a pleasant way. Honestly, I’m surprised the game has received relatively good reviews. On the other hand here I am as well, the idiot adding to those reviews myself, even though there were plenty of things I really didn’t like, which by the way, is a mix of both personal taste and some fairly objective criticism. Writing and the story is a disaster, for me it was neither engaging nor entertaining, mostly just irritating. The characters come across as unlikeable, pitiful and boring. As a study on narcissism, maybe there’s some value, but as characters in a narrative, they fail completely. On top of that, the sheer amount of nonsense dialogue was exhausting, I often found myself wincing or rolling my eyes. Whether this counts as a spoiler or not, I honestly don’t care, but the game keeps throwing in esoteric lines that are painfully over the top and downright awkward. It feels almost as if it were written by someone constantly high, convinced that the more often they repeat the word universe, the closer they become to merging with it. Even aside from that, most of the dialogue is meaningless, poorly structured filler that only serves to drag things out. The music and sound design are mediocre at best. At one point, I almost quit the game entirely because I felt intellectually insulted. There’s a scene where one character complains about noise, you hear something that sounds like a vacuum cleaner or a hair dryer and some other one replies: “That’s my mini hair-removal device.” Seriously? As already mentioned, it was a very close call, and the other four Santa Ragione games sitting on my wishlist will have to wait until there’s really nothing else left to play. Luckily, I picked this one up during a sale and paid something under 3 Bucks which is barely acceptable. Don’t be fooled by the 97% positive reviews and go into this game knowing that the writing and characters reflect careless, uninspired work and are really aimed at an audience of people who tend to live an unreflective, superficial and more egotistical lifestyle.

Mediterranea Inferno is a stunning visual novel that blends emotional depth with striking artistry. Set during the sweltering Italian summer of 2022, the game follows three childhood friends—Claudio, Andrea, and Mida—reuniting after years apart due to the pandemic. It’s a journey of self-discovery, trauma, and healing, wrapped in a unique mix of vibrant visuals, haunting soundscapes, and compelling storytelling. What Works: + Innovative Art Style: The game’s visual design is nothing short of breathtaking. Combining 2D artwork with stylized 3D elements, it feels like walking through a living piece of art. The blend of classic Italian cinema vibes and modern fashion photography makes every scene feel fresh and cinematic. + Emotional Impact: The narrative doesn’t shy away from complex emotions—anxiety, grief, desire—and tackles them with raw honesty. Each character feels real and multi-dimensional, pulling you into their struggles and triumphs. + Immersive Soundtrack: The music in Mediterranea Inferno is more than just a backdrop; it’s an integral part of the storytelling. The score amplifies the highs and deepens the lows, creating an atmosphere that sticks with you. What Could Improve: - Lack of Full Voice Acting: While the game’s text-based delivery is powerful, I did feel that full voice acting would have brought out even more emotional depth. It’s a small miss, but it’s noticeable during key emotional moments where vocal nuance could have amplified the experience. Final Thoughts: Overall, Mediterranea Inferno is a beautifully crafted journey, full of heart and artistry. The way it combines visual, musical, and narrative elements creates a truly immersive experience. Though I would have loved to hear full voice acting, the game’s ability to resonate emotionally makes it a standout in the visual novel genre.

loved milky way prince so i wanted to check this game out by the creator, lorenzo, as well! here are some of my thoughts: [*] amazing art style that is very confident in itself and unique [*] the italian culture in this game is very beautiful and strong [*] i thought the ui was interesting. i liked how the text boxes would move around the screen depending on who was talking. text was glitchy sometimes though [*] 2 or 3 times i had issues loading a save file (not loading from the title, but from within a different save file) [*] the mirage scenes were always pretty cool. loved the eerie yet vibrant vibes they had each time [*] TW: the game is heavily centered around substance abuse, sexual relations, mental health issues, etc. [*] upon reading some of the negative reviews, a lot of people have said that they don't understand what the game is trying to say, or what is even going on at a deeper level. however, i believe this game definitely speaks to themes such as queer identity, rebellion, revolution, etc. more intensely, not just "toxic gay guys on vacation" that one might see at the surface level. [*] this game also touches on how the covid pandemic affected people, specifically young adults finding their way in the world and navigating the transition through their 20s, which i'm sure a lot of people can relate to. having no contact with others, living in isolation, feeling like the world has forgotten about you, losing your identity then trying to rediscover it... all these aspects tie in to the overall narrative in this game. [*] as other reviews have said about the main characters not being likable: they aren't supposed to be. these characters and their feelings are representing the negative feelings, emotions, and actions that can build up within people who have dealt with certain traumas, depressions, etc. though they are best friends, they are toxic as hell to each other, feeding off of each other's insecurities and faults. these characters are meant to show the extremes of certain feelings. there are times throughout the story when you may feel bad for a certain character, yet in the end, they don't redeem themselves; all of them stick with their childlike ways of wanting to be noticed, loved, appreciated for who they are and having their identity accepted, all while doing whatever they can to get there, even if it means hurting each other and seeking revenge. if you're looking for a deep and passionate game that dives into what it means to be queer, to be noticed, to be accepted, to get acknowledgement, consider playing!
